The disposable medical surgical masks are intended to be worn to protect both the patient and healthcare personnel from transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material. These face masks are intended for use in infection control practices to reduce the potential exposure to blood and body fluids. This is a single-use, disposable device, provided as sterile and non-sterile.
The surgical mask consists of a mask body, a nose piece, and ear loops. The mask body is divided into three layers, the inner and outer layers are made of polypropylene fabrics; the middle layer is composed of Melt-blown cloth (polypropylene); the nose piece is made of polypropylene & iron (Fe), and the ear loops are made of nylon & spandex.
The provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for a Disposable Medical Surgical Mask. This type of device is a physical product and not an AI/ML software device. Therefore, the questions regarding AI/ML specific criteria (such as training sets, ground truth establishment methods, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance) are not applicable to this submission.
The document details the acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets these criteria for a medical mask. The study focuses on bench testing and biocompatibility testing, which are standard for physical medical devices of this type.
Here’s the breakdown based on the provided document:

§ 878.4040 Surgical apparel.
(a)
Identification. Surgical apparel are devices that are intended to be worn by operating room personnel during surgical procedures to protect both the surgical patient and the operating room personnel from transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material. Examples include surgical caps, hoods, masks, gowns, operating room shoes and shoe covers, and isolation masks and gowns. Surgical suits and dresses, commonly known as scrub suits, are excluded.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls) for surgical gowns and surgical masks. A surgical N95 respirator or N95 filtering facepiece respirator is not exempt if it is intended to prevent specific diseases or infections, or it is labeled or otherwise represented as filtering surgical smoke or plumes, filtering specific amounts of viruses or bacteria, reducing the amount of and/or killing viruses, bacteria, or fungi, or affecting allergenicity, or it contains coating technologies unrelated to filtration (e.g., to reduce and or kill microorganisms). Surgical N95 respirators and N95 filtering facepiece respirators are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 878.9, and the following conditions for exemption:(i) The user contacting components of the device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
(ii) Analysis and nonclinical testing must:
(A) Characterize flammability and be demonstrated to be appropriate for the intended environment of use; and
(B) Demonstrate the ability of the device to resist penetration by fluids, such as blood and body fluids, at a velocity consistent with the intended use of the device.
(iii) NIOSH approved under its regulation.
(2) Class I (general controls) for surgical apparel other than surgical gowns and surgical masks. The class I device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 878.9.
